Nigeria can afford to pay this money.The cost of running the Nigerian government is too expensive. If we must move forward in this country ,government officials have to be put on minimum wage,that is the only way out.

70% of tax payers money is used to fund the lavish life style of government officials and their families to the extent that they will prefer to die on the corridors of power.Many have turn the upper chamber to their retirement homes. Bunch of greedy ,self centered polithifians who are only there to serve their pockets,nonsense

forgiveness:
N66,500 is very ok. That's about N2,216.6 per day. Meaning, N316.6 per hour. That's a good one.


The Senators should reduce their salary. We don't want constituency projects again.

Let it be used for salary.

Great comment especially the part about constituency projects.

I just hope the workers won't be the one to suffer for all this fight...where two elephants fight, the grass suffers for it!...NLC mouth sef no dey one place, just dey change figure anyhow

I'll be the happiest person should Labour maintain their stance of #65,500.Maybe this will be the first time ever that NLC will stand firm and fight with all their might for workers. How on earth should a human being be living on #22,500 per month ($63)?
Owing to high cost of living such as rent, food, transport, etc. Why is it that the Nigerian Government has deliberately reduced its citizens to nothing? What exactly are politicians doing in Government that made them deserve the humongous amount to earn?
The problem I would say is still with the people. Come 2019, they'll still come out and vote for same politicians who have nothing to offer them but to continue to plunder their generation deeper, into extreme poverty.

LordAdam16:
This is why I don't take NLC serious.

One day you'd say 50k. Another day 45k. Another day, 30k. Now, 66k.

It just looks like they're playing silly games with the lives of workers. Now it'd take at least another month for them to get the rate back to the 30k they had been begging for.

I'd be very (and pleasantly) surprised if the agreed minimum wage exceeds 25k.

Wabba is an id*ot.

-Lord

Maybe u are new to the labour struggle, 65k wasn't set in stone. Things like thus is all about give and take, if u don't give u stand loose all u have, so don't blame them

pejuakinab:
I will suggest that Labour leaders should henceforth stop demanding for the 30k minimum wage rather they start channeling their struggle towards clamouring that all Governors, serving ministers and other public office holders be placed on minimum wage as well and regularized all the illegal allowances they are raking in.
My submission as I Atikulate.

There's no reason why they can't do both.

You'd be surprised that the public officials will also increase their already bogus salaries after they increase the minimum wage, and NLC will keep quiet because at least they've settled workers.

Tomorrow we'd all be complaining we're spending all our money on recurrent expenditure.

-Lord

The reason they're going for the Nov 7th strike AFAIK is because of 30k after the FG said 24k. Less than a week to the date, they've gone back to 66k. How does that make sense?

-Lord

We all know this isn't gonna happen. This sh!t isn't realistic na. NLC don see workers finish, smfh

Honestly the Nigerian workers deserve the 66k minimum wage and more going by economic realities on ground. The govt has been unfair to them over time.

I can see that the president of NLC has turn the whole salary issues into political agitation and personal glory.To go with fact and what is on ground the initial #18,000 remain very difficult for some Governors to pay, some states till have upto 2-24months to clear their civil servant salaries.for me NLC don't know what their need

daywatcher:

What's so great about that part

Are constituency projects only meant for civil servants and workers?

Down tools, hunger no dey kill...na lazy man go accept anything less than 70k as salary. Make Una boycott Una jobs, let them do it.

Lorenzop:
useless chest beaters...if only you people can prove me wrong this time and stick to this amount no matter the pressure, we are ready.....the senators should give up the huge allocations for constituency projects while Governors give up security votes...its obvious these are avenues of milking the masses dry.....guess what these morons will only make noise and chicken out.....oh dear labour, prove us wrong this time and stick to these demands

We have to support them. It's should be us against them, not us against us.

NLC had been useless since the days of Oshiomole. After much noise they still end up yielding to govt after their leaders must have taken bribes from the govt of the day and they will start to dance to difference tunes. Una never see N30,000 collect una dey yan dust about N66,000.

Good one. all the governor's are thieves. they can pay if they are willing to. the money ganduje collected as bribe can pay kano state civil servants comfortably.

This is not a good year....

dope,anyone that has an old quora account should contact me I have an offer for you.

I thought so myself,from 30k to 66k....nobody will take them serious.

This amount is very feasible..if we are honest with ourselves and remove white elephant projects frm our budget..

And u think dat can b possible in dis Obodo_Nigeria?

Well, nothing is impossible according to Dictionary

Bur not in dis Naija

Naija major problem is "reclining of leaderships personnel.

Tinalex:
How i wish NLC will not back down and if eventually the strike commence i hope all Government parastatal will effectively adhere. For once we the citizens of Nigeria need to unite to fight for this cause!!!

We will not unite because the labour unions are no different from the politicians. Even if the fg workers get what they want , will they remain in solidarity with the state workers? Will they stand with workers of organised private sector?

Labour unions can't be trusted.

Glad 2019 election is coming. Any Governor that can't pay should be votes out and let people who are ready to pay become the governor!

Biko where is this money going to fall from? Heaven?

The Civil Service needs serious reform. It is over bloated and filled with mediocre/lazy workers. You can not be talking about increasing minimum wage when at least 75 percent of state governors are struggling to pay salaries on a consistent basis.
We need to start asking the right questions instead of this mumu propositions like this.
We are not USA, UK or whatever country people are giving as example.

very confused set of people......

SarkinYarki:
NLC is not being realistic

They know that, it is to force this people more!

Strick is the language they understand weller.

We all know how this would end naaaa Las Las 30k all these bragado na just gara gara jooor

hope they remain solid to this bid whatever it takes.

Show us her face naaaaa
